Hello, Can you upload here how to connect wire/legs for Leonardo Axes X,Y,Z, Hat and as many button as possible? By the way, is this the latest version? Thx!

MHeironimus commented 4 years ago

As I write this version 2.0.5 is the latest, fully tested version. There are some other versions out there, but I have not finished testing them yet.

There are various examples out on the internet of how to create a joystick using this library (which wires one uses is really up to you). Here are some examples:

Thank you. Last question I cloud not find answer, with Leonardo I am not suppose to flash the eprom to make seems as joystick as it require on Arduino Uno, right?

MHeironimus commented 4 years ago

Correct. You do not need to flash the EPROM on an Arduino Leonardo to make it look like a joystick. You only need to upload the program you have written that uses the library.

Dear Matthew, I am still struggling with it, I could not find a sketch for Leonardo legs connecting 32 buttons and 2 hat switches and 3 potentiometers for the Flight Joystick. Can you please help? Also, I want to use 2 motors as force back - can I do this with Arduino?

MHeironimus commented 4 years ago

In order to get that many inputs using a standard Arduino, you will have to add some additional circuitry to your design.

I could not find a sketch for Leonardo legs connecting 32 buttons

See the Buttons section in the FAQ (https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary/wiki/FAQ#buttons) for more details.

2 hat switches

Wiring up a hat switch should be similar to the example shown at https://www.instructables.com/id/Create-a-Joystick-Using-the-Arduino-Joystick-Libra/.

3 potentiometers

See the following Arduino tutorial on reading potentiometers : https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Potentiometer

Also, I want to use 2 motors as force back - can I do this with Arduino?

This has been previously requested. See #9 This has not been implemented yet, to my knowledge.
